Philip Cooke
Psychologist, PhD
For people with a borderline personality structure, emotions can feel overwhelming and confusing and relationships intense and frustrating. making it hard to find relief. This experience can be compounded by stigma experienced from the label of "borderline personality disorder" and ineffectual treatments that fail to address the issues causing those distressing symptoms in the first place.
I approach the treatment of borderline personality from a psychodynamic perspective. I incorporate the best evidence available for improving emotion regulation and relationship stability and satisfaction. We work together to develop a trusting working relationship that feels safe enough to explore the psychological causes of your symptoms. As you do the hard work of inner exploration with me, you’ll discover new ways to express your feelings and get your needs met, leading to a more manageable life.

Grace in the Shadows
Licensed Professional Counselor, PhD, MDiv, MA, NCMHC, ALMHC, VALMHC
I approach the treatment of borderline personality disorder (BPD) with a compassionate and integrative strategy that combines psychological expertise with Christian principles. Recognizing the emotional turmoil and interpersonal challenges associated with BPD, I incorporate biblical teachings on love, grace, and forgiveness into therapy sessions. The focus is on building a therapeutic alliance that fosters trust and a sense of security. Evidence-based therapies such as dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) may be utilized, alongside spiritual practices like prayer and scriptural reflection to address the emotional dysregulation and relational difficulties characteristic of BPD. Encouraging clients to find strength in their faith, I aim to help individuals with BPD develop healthier coping mechanisms, manage intense emotions, and cultivate a deeper understanding of their identity in Christ. Collaboration with other mental health professionals and pastoral support may also be integrated to provide comprehensive care within the framework of Christian values.
